As I remember, they wanted to record the concert on video but did not get 
the rights to do so from the folks at Carnegie Hall.

I doubt that one was made.  If it was, they really had to hide the camera.

There was, however, a video made of the party the night before.  It has a 
lot of good music & some folks talking on it.  Perhaps that is what you 
have, Don?
